From probing her memories, Lin Yun could confirm that Star Blue Continent was vast in scale, likely comparable to the cultivation continent where he had once stayed.
On this Star Blue Continent, there were also numerous conflicts and struggles, with warfare raging year after year.
Of course, none of this concerned Lin Yun at present. After all, conflicts and struggles existed everywhere.
After examining her memories, he finally understood why she had begged for mercy earlier.
Her entire family clan had been overrun. She and a small group had escaped, but they were still pursued, and during the chase she had become completely separated from the others.
Once Lin Yun finished scanning her divine sense, he withdrew it.
Previously, he had been wholly focused on finding the Source Heart and had no interest in investigating this world. Now, through her, he had gained a preliminary understanding of Star Blue Continent’s worldview.
When the probing ended, the dazed young woman instantly regained her senses.
She felt no trace of having her memories searched. To her, it seemed as though the previous second she was still pleading with Lin Yun.
“I am not the enemy pursuing you,” Lin Yun said calmly.
“Then how… how do you know I am being hunted?” The young woman stared at him in disbelief.
“If I wish to know something, I naturally can,” Lin Yun replied.
“You little wench, you cannot escape!” A loud voice suddenly boomed.
In the next instant, several men in blue robes charged over.
“Rest easy, little wench. You are quite pretty, so we will not kill you outright, provided you serve us well.” The blue-robed men leered with wicked grins.
“Big brother, please save me!”
In desperation, the young woman rushed to Lin Yun’s side and clutched his arm tightly, as if grasping a lifeline.
Lin Yun gave a helpless smile. “You do not even know me. Are you not afraid that asking for my help will only take you from one danger into another?”
“I… I…” The young woman was speechless.
She was now in utter desperation, panicking and clutching at any hope. How could she think that far ahead?
“Fine, I will help you this once. Hide behind me.” As Lin Yun spoke, he pulled her behind him.
From searching her memories, he had seen that she was a rather pure and kind-hearted girl, untouched by the world’s harshness.
“Where did this wild brat come from, daring to interfere in the affairs of our Chasing Wind Sect? Do you know what kind of existence the Chasing Wind Sect is? Are you not afraid we will wipe out your entire clan?” The hook-nosed leader of the group shouted at Lin Yun.
“I do not know what your Chasing Wind Sect is, nor do I wish to know. I am protecting this woman. Leave on your own, and I will not harm you,” Lin Yun said calmly.
“Not harm us? Ha ha, what arrogance. Do you know the consequences of speaking to our Chasing Wind Sect like this?”
The blue-robed men all burst into loud laughter.
The young woman hiding behind Lin Yun grew even more tense.
Only now did she realise that seeking his protection might be dragging this man into danger, perhaps even dooming him.
“My patience is limited,” Lin Yun said, still utterly composed.
With his current strength, these blue-robed men were no more than ants in his eyes.
He had no interest in bothering with them.
“Brat, you are dead today!”
“Attack!”
At the hook-nosed leader’s command,
“Kill!”
The others behind him immediately charged at Lin Yun.
Their cultivation was merely at the Deity Transformation realm, still impossibly far from stepping into Eternal Life.
“Big brother, they are coming! What do we do?”
“I am sorry, I should not have put you in danger!”
The young woman behind Lin Yun trembled in fear, her face ashen.
“Just a few ants,” Lin Yun said calmly.
When the blue-robed men reached him, Lin Yun lightly waved his hand.
Boom!
A powerful surge instantly swept out, slamming fiercely into them.
Pfft!
The charging men spat blood from their mouths and flew backwards uncontrollably.
“What?!”
The hook-nosed leader watched his subordinates overwhelmed in a single exchange. His formerly confident face abruptly changed.
What shocked him most was that he could not sense this man’s cultivation aura at all.
Even the young woman behind Lin Yun stood stunned in amazement.
Lin Yun had deliberately restrained his power, merely injuring them.
Otherwise, killing them would have been as easy as slaughtering chickens.
